CLAM CHOWDER LIKE SKIPPERS OR IVARS

Steps:

• Add your diced potatoes,celery, 1or 2 pk. of french onion soup mix (this will really determine your richness),and the juice from your cans of clams. (leaving the clams to add at the very end of the recipe or they will get chewy) and 1-2 tbl. liquid smoke, now add just enough water to cover maybe an inch over your potatoes and celery. Boil for 10 minute no longer or you won't have any potatoes for your chowder.
